[Applause] Have you ever wondered how different humans today would have been if cavemen had AI. In their quest to make fire, cavemen would ask their AIs, "How make hot orange flame from stick?" And their AI would respond, "Gather dry twigs. Strike with flint. Warning, fire may cause burns." With AI, cavemen wouldn't have drawn on walls. They'd have had printed reports.Instead of engaging in tribal conflict, maybe their AI bots would have negotiated peace treaties for them. Maybe they'd have even posted thei ...

[Music] [Music] Ask any West African who makes the best jelloof fries and you won't get a calm answer. You will get an argument, a flag waving, chest stomping cultural battle. They'll say that Nigerian julof is too smokeoky.Ghanaian jalof too soft saggales that's not even rude jalof some would say while in my opinion Nigerian jalof is the best of course and behind all this banter there is a hidden truth that we all fail to recognize jolof rice is not iconic because one country can claim it iconic because ev ...

Core Argument - Art, like pearls formed from an oyster's irritation, arises from hardship and pain, enriching human experience and connection [1] - Society often overlooks the value of nurturing creativity, prioritizing STEM subjects and commercial pursuits over artistic expression [1] - The speaker worries that society is becoming "mute" due to the unspoken rule that arts are not serious or stable career options [1] Industry Trends & Concerns - The pearl industry alone is valued at over $13 billion, highlighting the economic significance of art [1] - Art is shifting from a pursuit of passion to a highly commercial pursuit, leading to the creation of "synthetic plastic pearls" [1] - Cinema and music are becoming increasingly formulaic and driven by commercial success, with creativity seen as a risk [2][3] - Reality dance shows are prioritizing gymnastics and acrobatics over genuine dance, with sob stories used to increase viewership (TRPs) [3] Call to Action - Society should cultivate a culture of appreciating art that challenges expectations and comforts the disturbed, not just for entertainment but for inner enrichment [3] - Audiences have a responsibility to create a conducive environment for good art and not discourage unconventional thinking [3] - A society that neglects art and emotional expression risks neglecting a crucial part of what makes us human [1]

There is this 15 years old, you know, student who misses the classes one day and the next morning as he shows up at school, the teacher basically uh kind of calls him apart and says, "But come here and tell me why did you miss the classes yesterday. " And he says, "You know what, teacher. I I had to do actually I had to take the cow to the ball. The cow to the ball, right.Yeah. All right. But couldn't your father do that instead.And he said, "Now that I think, yeah, my father can do that too, but I believe ...
Build like you're broke | Abhishek Soni | TEDxKharadi Salon
TEDx Talks· 2025-10-01 15:49
Core Idea - Constraints, such as limited money, time, or resources, can trigger creativity and innovation rather than hinder it [1][6] - Building a business with limited resources forces discipline, resilience, and faster learning [23] - A "build like you're broke" mindset is not about budget, but about how a company thinks, decides, and acts under pressure [24] Case Studies & Examples - Upwards, a lending business, achieved product-market fit and sustainable growth (20-30% MoM) after facing post-funding constraints and focusing on core offerings [3][9] - Spanx, started with $5,000 of savings, became a billion-dollar brand by compensating for lack of funds with obsession and ingenuity [13] - Zoho, a profitable SaaS giant, built a SAS empire from Tamil Nadu without external funding, focusing on product and profitability [15][16] - Chandrayaan-3, India's moon mission, was launched at a cost less than many Bollywood movies, demonstrating that focus beats funding [19] Key Principles - Scarcity sharpens focus, forcing companies to prioritize what truly moves the needle [23] - Creativity thrives on limitations, leading to innovative solutions like duct tape prototypes and hack-together MVPs [24] - Companies should test before betting big, staying close to the customer and earning the right to grow [25] - Focus almost always beats funding [21] Strategic Implications - Companies should think like they're broke, whether funded or not, to be more resilient and adaptable [23] - Smart tradeoffs and fast learning are essential when resources are limited [23] - Scaling should reward what's already working and companies should validate product-market fit before forcing growth [24][25]
